Beginning/Intermediate Weeklong Thai Cooking Class

Michael Babcock, October 1st, 2013

Kasma, unfortunately, no longer teaches the weeklong classes. I’m leaving this blog up as a historical record.

The Beginning/Intermediate Weeklong Thai Cooking Class offered by Kasma Loha-unchit in Oakland (San Francisco Bay Area) is a chance to spend a week learning how to cook delicious, authentic Thai food and to feast on the results of your learning. It is roughly equivalent to Kasma’s Beginning and Intermediate Evening Series cooking classes with some advanced class thrown in. There are no pre-requisites.

In the Beginning/Intermediate Weeklong Thai Cooking Class, students are introduced to nearly all of the main Thai ingredients and cooking techniques – the basics of Thai cuisine. You will be taught how to balance flavors to create authentic Thai food in a series of tasting exercises. You will learn how to use the mortar and pestle to make both simple pastes and complex curry pastes. Although you will learn around 45 different recipes, what your are really learning is how to cook Thai food with or without a recipe.At the end of each day, you’ll have a multi-course Thai feast, the fruits of your learning and labor. You will not find tastier Thai food anywhere in the United States.

The slideshow below will show you some of what you can look forward to when you take this class. (Note: You can check the current Thai cooking class schedule. In 2014 it is being offered from July 7 to 11 and August 4 to 8.)
